My hubby's not feeling well so I'm making his some egg drop soup when I get home.
Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
Ingredients
4 cups chicken broth, divided
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
Directions:
1. Reserve 3/4 cup of chicken broth, and pour the rest into a large saucepan. Stir the salt, ginger and chives into the saucepan, and bring to a rolling boil. In a cup or small bowl, stir together the remaining broth and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
2. Stir in the cornstarch mixture gradually until the soup is the desired consistency.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolk together using a fork. Drizzle egg a little at a time from the fork into the boiling broth mixture. Egg should cook immediately.

Turkey Recipes
I'm always looking for new recipes for my favorite foods. One of them happens to be turkey! I can't get enough of it. My husband laughs at me because there are always a couple in our freezer :) Here's some recipes I'll be trying out this Christmas for our dinner. I hope they're as good as they look!
Savory Turkey Brine
2 gallons cold water
10 ounces Kikkoman naturally brewed soy sauce
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons dried sage
2 tablespoons dried celery seed
1 tablespoon dried thyme
The night before roasting, remove giblets and turkey neck. Rinse turkey inside and out. In a large stockpot or 5 gallon bucket, mix water with remaining ingredients. Stir until all the salt is dissolved. Place turkey in pot, cover with a lid and refrigerate overnight, or at least 8 hours. Remove turkey from brine and rinse well. Now, follow your regular cooking instructions.

Pumpkin & Sweet Potato Soup
Ingredients
500g sweet potatoes (or kumera)
500g pumpkin (Jap or butternut.)
1L vegetable stock
1/4 cup of chopped continental/Italian/flat-leafed parsley
1 med brown onion, finely diced
50g butter
250ml cream (I used light thickened cream)
Remove the skin and cut up kumera and pumpkin roughly into smaller pieces. Place them, onions, butter, parsley and stock in a big saucepan. Bring it to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 20 mins until the pumpkin and kumera are soft.
Cool the soup for 10 mins. Puree the soup. Now if you like you soup thick but would like to omit the cream, you could at this stage. Otherwise, add cream for a creamier texture and return the soup to the stove. Bring it to a slight gentle boil.

Shatner vs. Limbaugh on Healthcare
This is kinda interesting. Take a look and see what you think. Personally, I think that Rush Limbaugh is an ass and really should learn to keep his mouth shut.
